The reactions of AlCl3 and GaCl3 with 1,3,4,5-tetramethylimidazole-2-ylidene in toluene at room temperature affords the 1:1 adducts 5 and 6, respectively. The use of a bulky N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) in toluene/THF and AlCl3 results in the formation of an imidazolium salt 7 with the tetrachloroaluminate anion. A 1:1 adduct 8 of 1,3,4,5-tetramethylimidazole-2(3H)-thione with AlCl3 is obtained in toluene. The crystal structures of 5·0.5C7H8, 7·THF and 8 were determined. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
